distance of engagement

I have .22 conversion units for most of my auto pistols. If I'm shooting a .22 converter, I shoot at a reduced scale target at 50 feet. Usually I use an NRA B-34 target (which is the 1/2 scale version of the B-27 like they use in PPC matches) but I also sometimes shoot on the B-29 (1/3rd scale B-27), or a TQ-16 (1/3rd scale TQ-15) or TQ-20 (1/3rd scale TQ)

When I'm shooting the bigger guns, I use full size targets. The NRA B-18 (like the Army & Air Force used for handgun qual with the M1911A1 and S&W 15), or the NRA TQ-15. Sometimes I shoot on the full sized B-27 target if I'm practicing for a PPC match. I have shot on B-21 and TQ-19 targets too.

Sometimes I use NRA B-24 targets, which are a reduced version of the B-18.

Most often when shooting larger caliber handguns I use IPSC or IDPA cardboard silhouettes. I can usually get some slightly shot up ones left over from a match, glue a little scrap cardboard on the back to repair the center scoring zone, and shoot on them for another 60 to 100 rounds.

I practice routinely out to 25 yards. A couple times a summer I do a little shooting at 50 yards.

With rifle, with the AR-15 I usually practice out to 100 yards. When shooting the S&W M&P AR-15/22 I shoot on reduced targets at 50 feet.
